| ![]() I have also been hunting for a used corolla in bangalore. Can;t find too many of them unlike the civics. so you may have to pay a small premium. I think you should close the deal at below 6 lakhs. jayanth |

| ![]() Hi guys, Need your opinion on this car. I've only interacted with the owner on mail and he has sent the following information and pics. Would be checking out the car in a couple of days or over the weekend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Santro XL, June 2005 (Euro III), 40K mileage, Delhi Registration, Single owner Service History - He says he will find out if hyundai will give him a copy of the same. Loan - Owner has foreclosed the loan on 15th of this month and will get the NOC within 10 days Any accidents/repairs - car is reportedly accident free (never claimed insurance even once during the last 5 yrs) Replacements - Battery replaced about 6 months ago as the old one died. Replaced the brake shoes and the power steering seal/Oil during service just about 10 days ago Tyres - in pretty good condition and they should last you another 15000 kms easily Insurance - Comprehensive, valid until 7/2010 Other fitment - Remote Central Locking (Xenos) Gear Lock (pin type) Sony CD/MP3 player/FM radio with AUX input (for ipod etc) 2 speakers in front, 2 X 3WAY speakers on the rear parcel tray (for better bass) Asking price 2.25L All the above information provided by the owner -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My thoughts - Price seems a little high for an XL model of 2005. Carwale quotes 1.89L for Excellent and 1.81L for Good condition car. On the other hand when I check out used cars listed at the same site then the price for 2005 XL is in the range of 2.3-2.4L. How far are these figures reliable? Bit confused in fixing my last price for the car. From the pics, car body looks fine. I would have preferred body colored bumpers but Black is not a deal breaker for me. Did Santro XL come with any power windows?? My last car (Sanro DX 2001), had a rear wiper and though I didn't use it much in Delhi, I remember it being very useful in those few rainy days. I am not in dire need of a car. As in, I can manage to wait for sometime. About a month ago I rejected a Santro XS (top model) Sep 2005 50K done for 2.3L as the clutch seemed to be needing some adjustment and the alloys were in bad condition. Considering that, I am not at all convinced by the asking price of this car. However m planning to check it out. Questions:- 1) I know it is hard to say just by looking at the pics, but what do u guys think about the car? 2) Given the level of equipment, whats the genuine price for this car? 3) what should I be checking in regards to the loan foreclosure? How do I ensure everything has been settled. 4) What points should I use to bargain? eg. Painting cost of bumpers, Windows need tint, Tyres 5 year old and need replacement etc. 5) Were body colored bumpers standard for XL? I distinctly remember seeing XLs with Body colored bumper. 6) How many power windows did XL have? 0 or 2 or 4 7) Lastly, and perhaps I should've begin with this, with the new Euro 4 norms coming into effect in Delhi will it be possible to get a Euro 3 car registered? If I am not able to transfer ownership in my name then the whole idea of searching for a used car is waste. I should start looking at new cars. Any suggestions for Hyundai Service centers in south Delhi where I can get this car checked? Any references to service personnel in Hyundai A.S.S would be highly appreciated. ![]() Pics:- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

for a 2003 model 53k sounds fishy with two owners, i guess a fair price should be 2 lacs Pramod | |

My logic was since it came with a service history that should be ok ? Or am I being stupid ? Anyway I'm yet to see the car. I was told 2.50-2.60L would be a fair price and 10-20k more if the condition is really good. @ Pramod, Do you get good OHC for 2L in Cochin ? In that case I'd rather get one from there. | |

I would trust Carwale online evaluations as a very decent starting point, actually. After that, it depends on the actual condition of the car, the kind of accessories the car is fitted with, the negotiating capabilities of the parties, etc. Regards, spadix | |

| ![]() Thanks for the replies guys. I understand that the quotes given by online forums are just for reference and given keeping in mind a standard set of parameters. The actual price of a car will be affected by a lot of other things. Everyone inflates the price while selling and tries to bring it down while buying. Bargaining is something which isn't my forte. ![]() What do u guys think about this deal? - Quote:

| ![]() Hey yzkrj, if registration is not an issue for you then please check the classifieds section in Team-bhp, I saw a Honda City 1.5 exi, doctor owned car put for sale. The car is from Chennai. The car looks pretty good from the pictures, done nearly 54 K miles I think. Just check it out. |

i dont know what is so special about doctor owned cars? same goes with parsi owned ones as well in mumbai. I have heard of lot of issues where doctors are responsible for rash driving and causing damge to properties, OT, i have seen a lot of moded cars in the hospitals parking lots where i regularly visit. The emphasize i think should be on the physical inspection and then the service records. a doctor/parsi owned car dosent mean it demands a premium, just my 2 cents. Pramod | |
